As the CPU (Intel® Core™ Ultra Processor [Series 2]) of Mind 2 AI Maker Kit is a quite new CPU, so current Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 LTS with Linux kernel 6.8 doesn't support well on it, current known issue list below:

• AX211 Wi-Fi doesn't work
• AX211 Bluetooth doesn't work
• HDMI sound card doesn't work
• GPU doesn't work

This documentation will guide you to fix these issues.

As you need to download the Wi-Fi driver and firmware from the internet, so you need a USB ethernet adaptor to access the network.

You need to disable the Secure Boot to update the Wi-Fi drivers, you can follow the steps below to disable the Secure Boot.

Reboot and press DELETE to enter BIOS setup menu, and then navigate to Security → Secure Boot, and setup to Disabled, press F4 to save and reboot.

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt full-upgrade -y

Follow the steps below to upgrade the kernel to 6.12+:

$ cd /tmp
$ wget https://kernel.ubuntu.com/mainline/v6.12.3/amd64/linux-headers-6.12.3-061203-generic_6.12.3-061203.202412060638_amd64.deb
$ wget https://kernel.ubuntu.com/mainline/v6.12.3/amd64/linux-headers-6.12.3-061203_6.12.3-061203.202412060638_all.deb
$ wget https://kernel.ubuntu.com/mainline/v6.12.3/amd64/linux-image-unsigned-6.12.3-061203-generic_6.12.3-061203.202412060638_amd64.deb
$ wget https://kernel.ubuntu.com/mainline/v6.12.3/amd64/linux-modules-6.12.3-061203-generic_6.12.3-061203.202412060638_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
$ sync
$ sudo reboot

You need to use the backport-iwlwifi driver to make the Wi-Fi work.

Follow the steps below to download the Wi-Fi driver:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install -y git build-essential gcc-12 net-tools
$ cd ~/Downloads
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-iwlwifi.git -b release/core91 --depth=1

Build and install the Wi-Fi driver:

$ cd ~/Downloads/backport-iwlwifi
$ make defconfig-iwlwifi-public
$ make -j10
$ sudo make install
$ sync

You also need to follow the steps below to update the Wi-Fi firmware:

$ wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/iwlwifi-bz-b0-gf-a0-94.ucode -P /tmp
$ wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/iwlwifi-bz-b0-gf-a0.pnvm -P /tmp/
$ sudo cp /tmp/iwlwifi-bz-b0-gf-a0* /lib/firmware/
$ sync

Then you need to reboot your device to take effect.

$ sudo reboot

After reboot, you can check the kernel log about the Wi-Fi driver.

Check Wi-Fi node, if you can find the wlo1 node that means your Wi-Fi works.

After you upgrade kernel to 6.12+ from Upgrade your system & kerenl section, this issue will be fixed automatically.

After you upgrade kernel to 6.12+ from Upgrade your system & kerenl section, this issue will be fixed automatically.

As Intel® Core™ Ultra Processor (Series 2) GPU is supported from NESA 24.2.2 so we need to upgrade the MESA packages:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt full-upgrade -y
$ sync 
$ sudo reboot

If you upgrade the kernel manually then you may need to Download and install the Wi-Fi driver again to make the Wi-Fi work.

The Linux kernel 6.11+ already supports the AX211 Wi-Fi module, so in the future once we get the Ubuntu official kernel update to 6.11+, the Wi-Fi will work and no need the steps above.
